There it is. This is amazing, and something I'm going to follow very closely.
Best of luck to Jim.
I cant see this going very far considering DH threatened to doxx Jim after they creepily found out where he lived from one of Jim's videos.
oh my god when he makes jim define leech
i'm dying
I agree. I'm sure they can scrape together better games off the Unity Asset Store.Better off instead to endeavour to make better games and move on.
Never liked Jim (too egotistical for my liking) but this is stupid.
Wait...Jim's real name is STANTON?!?
...everything I know is a LIE!!!
My concern is that US law (to my understanding, correct me if wrong) does not have cost awards. That is to say, the winner (Jim) will still be responsible for paying legal fees, which could hurt him fairly significantly.
If you were American, I bet you would be a Drumpf supporter.
You can countersue to recover the cost of legal fees. If Jim's laywer is competent at all, that lawyer is drafting the paperwork for that right now.
Saddly there is a group of complete idiots that will follow Sterling regardless if the information is true or false. Those are the ones that sent those messages to DH.
What DH is doing just will fuel those fans and the situation will end worse than now.
Specially when DH has that background

I'm going to donate $1 or possible $2 as Jim Sterling annoys me for some reason.
Not that I expect to change your mind, but I used to think this as well until I saw him outside the context of The Jimquisition and realized the version of him on the show is a character. I mean, in retrospect, I feel like maybe I should have realized this on my own because he's like a bloody Saturday morning cartoon villain on the show. Either way, from everything I've seen of him outside the show, he seems like a really cool dude. That made enjoying The Jimquisition a lot easier for me too.
His name isn't even Jim Sterling, what the h is my world coming to?
Amazing. So if Jim wins his legal fees will be covered or how does this work? Because otherwise that's gonna be a really expensive laugh.
Not automatic cost awards, but they are available in certain situations.
I'm rather curious as to what attorney took them in as a client or they are going pro se.
Could they actually do that, with Jim being a legitimate critic of the games industry.
Jim winning the case doesn't necessarily mean he'd immediately recover the cost of his defence, but there are a number of ways that can happen, including the above-mentioned countersuit. Hell, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction he was sued in, it's entirely possible that the judge themself can award the legal fees to Jim.
I am so excited Jim Sterling is being sued. His response will be legendary.
Oh ok, thanks for answering. This is going to be interesting...In the unlikely event that Sterling was found to be guilty of libel and slander, it would also find that his criticism of DH was not legitimate criticism.
If DH thought there was a chance they would lose, do you think they would still go forward? I don't care either way as I think both sides are retarded. Just find it funny this will likely end with both wasting their time and money.
Maybe Jim ends owning their IPs as payment
pro se which means it will be a circus
This is probably the most nonsense use of "both sides" I've ever seen, and that's saying something.

Uhh, I hope you mean Digital Homicide there.I. I don't. I just.
Assault?
I think Digital Foundry should watch this on a continuous loop:
